It feels pretty nice. But these honors and career advancements come at a time when the country I live in is taking a dark U-turn toward the gates of hell. The irony of that is not lost on me. But I take it as a sign that my purpose truly is to use my art as a form of resistance against all forms of tyranny, whether it be imperialism, patriarchy, or white (House) supremacy. And so as they say in the streets … that’s what’s up!
